Thanksknitting was written on Thanksgiving.

I was watching the leaves fall from the trees and I was thinking about how much I didn’t want to rake them up. So, I told myself, it’s a holiday, so I’m going to take the day to knit. Thank goodness for Thanksgiving and Knitting, hence, Thanksknitting.
Please feel free to knit this pattern as a way to get out of having to do yardwork. ;)

I used Twisted Stitches with two colours, combined with some basic stranded colourwork, to create the leaf pattern.
